Black Books are part of the Dragonborn DLC and lend perks to Skyrim characters. Each book has 3 perks to choose from and are generally geared to aid in different ways in order to offer each class something new and useful.

There are a total of 7 black books and while some are easier to obtain than others, they are all achievable.

Below is the complete list of Black Books along with links to walk-throughs for obtaining them and the rewards they each offer.

Tip: During the main quest, it is possible that you will inadvertently lose this black book because you have to give it to the Skaal Shaman. If you didn’t loot it from his corpse after the fact, you can return and retrieve it from his corpse later on. If the corpse is gone, find Frea. She will have the Black Book and be more than willing to rid herself of it by giving it to you.
